Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Public schools, districts usually exempt from fees

Starting July 1, 2026, work done by a taxing district or an authorized public charter school is not treated as "development" for impact fee rules. They usually do not pay development impact fees when doing their legal duties. A local ordinance can still make them pay if it clearly includes them.

Only certain local governments charge impact fees

Starting July 1, 2026, only cities, counties, single countywide highway districts, fire protection districts, and ambulance service districts can adopt development impact fee ordinances. Other local bodies cannot. This limits where impact fees can be charged as a condition of development approval. Local housing and project costs can still vary by ordinance and location.
